Introducing our Pinoy Colada. This drink brings us right back to enjoying fresh, salty coconuts beside the bluest seas of Palawan.

Our new cocktail menu, called Take me There, is centred around trips, memories & experiences we’ve had on the journey to get to where we are today, and want to share a little about how they’ve shaped what we do at Kaldero.

We rented a bike from a kuya who lived near the beach we were staying on, but after 15 mins on the road, it descended into chaos. A flat tyre followed by a dead battery, another flat tyre, a broken key, flat tyre again, dead battery again, no lights driving in pitch darkness before finally making it home.
